1) Drink slow, small sips of water 2) Take at least two mints at a time while breathing, two short breaths, then two deep breaths. 3) There is a meditating function on 7 Cups Growth Path and it balances out all emotions making you calm and at bay. Without full balance you get too much of one emotion, causing anger issues or depression. 4) Breathe in a brown paper bag if possible, if you don't have one then DO NOT use a plastic bag instead 5) You can ground yourself by thinking of five things that are one color, or on the ground. Things that surround you, list them. Once you do you will feel/remember that you are one of those things and that calms the majority of people down.
Breakups can be hard

Find something you can focus on. The easiest, for me, is my breathing. You could focus on something visual, or a texture, or music. As long as you're distracting your mind from whatever is making you anxious. While you're doing that, take deep, steady breaths.

4-7-8 exercise! Breathe in through your nose for 4 seconds, hold it in for 7 seconds, and slowly breathe out through your mouth for 8 seconds. Repeat until you feel better! :)

Focus in your breathing. Occupy your mind away from your anxious thoughts. Inhale for 5 seconds counting as you do, then slowly exhale for 5 seconds. What you are doing is refocusing your thoughts on what’s happening now instead of anything else. It pulls you into the now. Anxiety and anxious feelings/thoughts are often fearing the unknown future. None of us know exactly what is going to happen but we like to try and guess so we can control the situation. There is no way to control the future. The only thing we can actually control is ourselves and focusing on our breathing is a great way to get your mind back on track.

For me personally, I tend to get anxious or stress from time to time again. But, honestly though, who doesn't get stressed or anxious? Especially in a time such as now where everything is happening spontaneously or can be unpredictable, we need to be able to care for ourselves and calm our nerves. The best way that I like to calm my nerves quickly during anxiety or stress is to do breathing exercises or even meditating while listening to music. Doing these can help clear your mind from any negative thoughts or emotions but they can also bring you back to earth. Remember, self-care is the best type of care!

You can try concentrating on your breathing, which is a quick and effective way to take your focus away from the subject of the anxiety. Just take deep and long breaths, counting them as you go, as many as you need.

thinking that someone before you would cry out loudly. This way you would be quiet and will respond to situation. Considering some one gifted you cold glass of drink in hot weather.

Deep breathing. Putting your hands on your stomach, slowing your breathing. Clearing your mind to focus on your breaths. Slow deep breaths.

Drinking water is very good, listening to calming music (classical, piano, violin are all good ones) doing a puzzle is a good way to relax, and of course, always talking helps!

Deep breaths and zoning out helps me. Remain aware and alert to your surroundings, but take yourself to another place mentally

Taking deep breaths and focusing on something concrete and in front of you. Think about every aspect of the object the look, feel, smell, sounds, and possible if you can the taste of it.

Focus on just one thing, like your breath, or the sound of the bird outside your window, or the taste of your chewinggum. Allow yourself to neglect everything else around you (unless you're driving or walking somewhere, in that case keep paying attention but ignore all sounds and distractions other than the necessary ones). Focus on this one thing until you feel your breath easing and your heartbeat calming down. Slowly allow the world to enter your mind again, one by one.
Good luck!

Just take a few deep breaths, close your eyes and clear your head. Perhaps, even listen to music if your mind is still worried.

A great way to calm your nerves is to do something you find relaxing or comforting. For example listening to music, drawing, singing. something that can help take your mind off of everything and to help you stay calm.

During anxiety, I just close my eyes and try counting 1 to 20.. take deep breaths.. and focus on doing things rather than being anxious because I know later I would regret not doing anything. .

To focus on your breathing - taking deep breaths (try breathing in for five seconds, pausing for five seconds and exhaling for five seconds). Do this for several minutes until you start to feel more relaxed. Remember to remind yourself that you're in a safe situation right now and nothing bad will happen. Try also not to think of the worst possible scenario that might happen if you can. Visualization is also a helpful technique.

Keep your mind off the thing that is making you anxious in the first place, if you need the privacy take it. Take yourself away from the crowd and calm down 1st.
